Butter Side Up

Yesterday was a hard day.  It was long and....  well, long.  Today, I'm up early for a 5am PST "net meeting" that's hosted on the East coast at their 8am, then I've got another full (read long) day.  So, I'm making some cinnamon toast.  I love me some cinnamon toast. 

There are only two slices of Ezekiel Bread's Cinnamon Raisin Bread left in the bag!  I pop them in the toaster.  I toss the bag on top of my super full trash can and then watch as the empty bag slowly slides onto the floor.  Of course...

I grab the tub of margarine from the fridge.  Toast pops, smear with margarine, put them on the paper towel and head to the counter to scarf. 

Of course, one slice decides to take a dive...  It slides right off the paper towel, and there's nothing I can do to stop it, since I've got a full cup of joe in hand #2...  crap.

Luckily, my laziness has paid off.  The slice lands right on the bread bag (so no five second rule required)!  And, as you could probably guess from the title, it's butter side up!  That never happens!  The physics (the grease must make the butter side aerodynamic?) and my typical luck make this a sure impossibility. 

Today will be a good day for me.  Hopefully for you, too.

In honor of our collective good day, go have some cinnamon toast.  Here's my favorite recipe...
